grain mills
Wheat crushing facilities
Grain mills are devices that grind cereal grains into flour or meal.
The basic mechanism—two surfaces crushing grain between them—has remained constant from ancient hand-powered querns to modern industrial roller mills.
A mill can also mean the building housing such equipment: The old grain mill by the river has been converted to apartments.
Home grain mills let bakers grind fresh flour.
